ISIS terrorists have blown up the Arch of Triumph in Palmyra

DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Islamic
State militants have blown up the Arch of Triumph, a major monument in
the 2,000-year-old Roman city of Palmyra, Syria's antiquities chief said
on Sunday, after they destroyed two ancient temples at the central
Syrian site in recent months.

Maamoun Abdulkarim told Reuters that sources in Palmyra
had confirmed that the Arch of Triumph, a jewel in the exquisite
collection of ruins in the oasis city, had been blown up.
